A.D. Trailer

Published by junkfx under Uncategorized Edit This

Not many trailers really do it for me. In fact, very few. So when a trailer finally rears it’s golden head around the preproduction hell and it’s really good I get genuinely excited. So excited in fact, that I will often hunt down the editing houses that take on the creative task of the job (er… art form). But this really isn’t about a total review of trailers, this is about a trailer that I find really fucking good. Enter…. A.D.

Check out this wicked little teaser for the upcoming animated zombie film called A.D.

New Kick-Ass Trailer

Published by junkfx under Uncategorized Edit This

Not much new footage in this “new” trailer but the feeling is getting better. The new trailer is called “With No Power Comes No Responsibility”, which if you’re a literary fan is a quote from Brian K Vaughn’s “Y The Last Man.” Is there a link between the two, I doubt it highly. It think the Kick-Ass crew was just playing off Spider-Man, like Vaughn did. Check it out.

Avatar is the Official Highest Grossing Film of All Time

Published by junkfx under Movie News Edit This

Avatar is now officially the highest grossing film of all time. Sweet god almighty. The top 2 highest grossing films, both by the same director, both of which I have absolutely NO interest in seeing.

I’m sure most of you have already seen the new advent of film making known as Avatar. I’m sure most of you have loved it and told all your friends to go see it. I have no desire to. Nothing about it, aside from the fact it looks like a wicked video game cut scene, makes me wanna see this movie.

Well, congrats Cameron. You topped your previous film, Titanic, and the money is still rolling in on this one.

-thanks to /Film for the pic at the top.

It’s a sad yet exciting time for the movie industry. While chain video monoliths such as LackLuster Video and Hollywood Video are floundering in the midst of immediate indulgence monsters, RedBox, Netflix and GreenCine, we have a double edged sword that might or might not land in our favor.

Hollywood Video has announced that their bankruptcy (announced a few years agao) is starting to catch up with them again. They will be closing 1,000 of the remaining 2,600 stores to attempt to recoup some losses. The same thing has been happening to LackLuster in the past couple years. I think this isn’t that bad of a thing. No longer will we have the pungent taste of popular movies lining the walls from shelf to shelf, aisle to aisle. No longer will there be metric tons of Hollywood shit being crammed down our esophagus every time we enter a video store.

No more neon lights advertising what new Will Ferrell travesty has been released. No more candy tie in with the industry’s dreck, spilling out like the fecal matter we have come to know and despise from Hollywood’s elite. Damn! Now that I think about it, this is bloody great thing.

It sucks that a business in love with movies is going under, but hey, you fucked your own pooch. You bleed for the masses and they will give you nothing in return. You aim for that special niche, they will return 10 fold. Why? Because people support what they love. Once all these incepid chain video stores are dried up and gone, you will see small, hole-in-the-wall, specialty film stores that will have more than what you are looking for.

Looking for that rare Jim Jarmusch short film? You’ll have a better chance finding it at a place that cares about film and not just turning a profit for the exclusive rights to rent out a certain movie (that usually sucks to begin with).

I love Netflix, and I absolutely am head over heals with GreenCine. Netflix has a really great selection and they are fast to turn around my titles. GreenCine has the best selection I have ever seen (outside of that awesome little video store in Louisville, KY) and they don’t litter their pages with bullshit blockbuster flicks. I think with Redbox, Net and Green, you will start seeing more competition, specialty services being offered. At least I hope. Let’s pray that our commerce doesn’t become like Best Buy. Please, god, please.
